Officers were called to the Garden Inn and Suites on Reagan Drive, near Interstate 85, around 10:30 a.m. after motel staff found the man's body.
His name has not been released, nor have the circumstances surrounding his death.
Officers told Channel 9 that there were signs of a struggle inside the room.
Motel resident Bryant Sampson said he believes it was not a random attack.
“Whatever happened, the person had to know this person or something,” Sampson said. “They don't deal with any drug activity here or nothing like that.”
The department said homicide detectives are conducting their investigation and more information will be released as soon as it's available.
